Tryout out information below pertains to both 7th and 8th grade:

Tryout Information- Boy’s Soccer 2023

Welcome to Greenfield Junior High!   Brent Morton is the 7th grade boys coach and Chris Martin is the 8th grade boys coach.  They each have coached soccer for more than 15 years.  The goal of a coach at Greenfield is to enhance each player’s skill level on the field as well as mold a cohesive team.

Tryouts begin Monday, July 31st.  All players interested in making the team should attend as many tryout days as possible to be considered. The more days you have to show your skill level, the better.  All players must have the athletic clearance completed, including the physical, prior to coming out to tryouts. Parents can access the required information and register their player on . Please reach out to Ana Sanchez in the office if you need help.  Each player will receive a tryout number once their registration is completed and cleared. The tryout number will be posted at Ana’s desk in the front office.  This tryout number MUST be placed on a shirt (both front and back) and worn each day.  We suggest a plain white t-shirt with large numbers, visible from afar.  Students are asked not to wear any recreational or club gear during tryouts.  Players will be scored on the skills, endurance, knowledge of positions on the field, and teamwork shown on and off the field each day. It is important that each player performs at his best level. 

Tryout Dates and Times:

Monday, July  31st 3:45-5:30 p.m.      7th lower field/ 8th upper field

Tuesday, August 1nd   3:45-5:30 p.m.      7th lower field/ 8th upper field

Friday, August 4th  3:45-5:00 p.m.      7th lower field/ 8th upper field

Those trying out should bring a water bottle, comfortable shirt with tryout number on front and back, comfortable shorts, shin guards (mandatory),  and soccer cleats (or shoes that have traction for running and kicking).  Students are welcome to bring their own ball, however, it’s not required.  Those trying out will have an opportunity to use the boy’s locker room after school to dress out..  The locker room will not be open after tryouts. Bring all belongings to the field.  

Participants will receive notification of whether or not they have made the team, after a short practice on Friday, August 4th.  We are looking to keep 18 players on each 7th and 8th grade team.

They will be given an envelope with their tryout results.  Please do not open the envelope until you are in your car or home with your family.  Let’s all be good sports and not brag or celebrate in front of others.

If a player makes the team, practices will be after school until 5:15 p.m. on most days, but there is a chance, practice on Fridays will be canceled. Most games are on Mondays and Wednesdays and start at 4:30 and run until about 5:45 p.m.  The first game of the season is August 21st.  

If you have any questions about tryouts, please email us at brent.morton@gilbertschools.net (7th Grade Coach) or christopher.martin@gilbertschools.net (8th Grade Coach), prior to Monday, July 31st (the first day of tryouts). We look forward to a great season and creating teams that demonstrate our motto of Grizzly Strong.
